Ulysses Aubry, driver of a Tacoma
entry in the automobile speed meet
held yesterday afternoon at the Rose
City Speedway, and Frank Lake, his
mechanician, are dead from injuries
received when their high-power racing
car caromed over a curve shortly
after 4 o'clock. Aubry was 27 and
Lake 34 years old. More than 5000
spectators witnessed the accident,
which was one of three. The" others
were inconsequential.
The cause of the fatal accident is
not definitely known, but it is be-1
lieved to have been due to the steering
gear faltering while the machine was
traveling at a furious speed around
the first turn to -the right of the
grandstand.
Victim's Wife Sees Accident.
Thp two men were lifted from the
wreckage of the racing car and borne
to Dean Perry's automobile,, which
sped at top speed for St. Vincent's
Hospital. Both men were unconscious,
and Aubry's death occurred on the
way to the hospital while the auto
was crossing the Bumside-street
bridge.
Aubry's home is at 3321 Pacific ave
nue, Tacoma, while Lake was also a
resident of that city. Mrs. Aubry ac
companied her husband to Portland to
see his daring and sUill on the track,
in the first meet held in this city for
some time, and witnessed the accident.
Lake Dies in Surgery.
Aubry's car was entered as the Au
bry Special, and his racing number
was 11. He had had considerable ex
perience in racing meets.
Aubry and Lake were taken to St.
Vincent's Hospital at 4:40 P. M. Au
bry was terribly injured internally and
his skull was fractured. In the vain
hope that life had not passed away
be was taken to the surgery.
Lake, the mechanician, expired in
the surgery at 6 o'clock. He had been
attended by Dr. E. B. McDaniel, but
his injuries were such that all efforts
to stay his death were futile. Kis in
juries were similar to those of the
driver, Aubry. His skull was frac
tured and he was also injured inter
nally. He did not regain conscious
ness. Mrs. Aubry Breaks Down.
Wilfred Aubry, brother of the dead
driver, was with the car that took
- Aubry to the hospital. Shortly after

VANCOUVER. Wash., July 23. (Spe

by the experience of F. E. Smith, who
operates a small boat on the Colum

Some time before tne war, Mr. Smith
lost overboard a barrel of bluing of
the sort used in laundries. He was
compelled to pay to the consignee
damages of about $60 for the loss.
Recently, learning: of the advance
in the price of bluing, Mr. Smith went
to the place he had lost the barrel, and
with grappling hooks recovered it.
He netted J 1500 on this one barrel
and was sorry he had not lost a ship

False Rumor Causes Gathering of

ROME. July 23. A rumor was cur

of Pope Leo XIII was to be transported
at sunset from its present resting place
in St. Peters to a tomb erected in the
Church of St. John Lateran. A large
number of persons gathered along the
route which the procession would
have to take, and the riots which oc
curred in July, 1881. when the body of
Pope Pius IX was similarly transport
ed, were recalled.
The body of Pope Leo, however, was
merely removed from one resting place
to another inside of St. Peter's, the
ceremony being simple and private.

SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., July 23.-
Mayor Rolph offered a reward of 35000
today for the arrest of the person who
placed a bomb yesterday among the
crowds watching the preparedness p
rade, the explosion of which killed 3ix
and wounded 40. and the police depart
ment established a separate bureau
for the single purpose of running down
the culprit.
As the result of police investigation
today, several possible clews to the
perpetrator of the outrage were ob
tained. - William Taylor, an aged crip
ple, who frequents the waterfront,
ioia me ponce that he saw a man
leave a suitcase on the spot where the
explosion occurred a few minutes later.
Man Tall, Shabbily Dressed.
Taylor talked with the man, whom
he described as being tail, .shabbily
dressed and about 35 years old.
l nat s a bad place to leave a suit
case," Taylor said he told the man, who
replied, with a good deal of anger:
You leave it alone if you konw
what's good for you. I know what I'm
doing. Keep away from it."
E. Preston, of Richmond. ' Cal.. also
saw the suitcase left on the sidewalk
and his description of the man who
left it tallied with the description given
by Taylor.
Vnlon Man Relates Threat.
From Harry Jones, a union workman
the police got another story that may
help. Jones was. in a saloon in the
waterfront district shortly after
o'clock. A man, said Jones, who looked
like a Mexican,' came in and ordered a
glass of beer. This man Jones de
scribed as being about 30 . years old,
smooth shaved and roughly dressed.
He asked Jones if he was going to pa
rade. Jones said he was not, that he
was a union man and did not believe
in it
"I'm going," said the stranger, "and
I'm going to blow 'the damned proces
sion up."
The stranger repeated his declara
tion to two employes of a brewery who
met him outside the saloon.
"You'll hear from me," he told them.

TIDE OF BATTLE SHIFTING
Attackers Less Successful on East
ern End, Where British Are Re

,iS to Gain Ridge.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War Correspondent of the New York
Tribune. By Special Cable.)
LONDON, July 23. The news of
British success in the opening stages
of what will perhaps be the biggest
battle of the war lias coine And there
is great rejoicing In Londo.i tonight.
The first successes are beyond the
highest hopes held here and give
promise of vitally important develop
ments. .
The British and territorial troops left
their trenches along the whole six-mile
line from Pozieres to Guillemont today
and struck desperately at the third
German line. The Germans fought back
with equal desperation and the fight-
ina was. and continues to be, of the
most violent character.
Spectacular Success Won.
At Pozieres, on the extreme west of
the lines, the British success was im
mediate and spectacular. The Anzac
men the AuBtralian-New Zealand army
corps veterans of the Galiipoli strug
gles, and among the most dashing of
the British troops, swept over what
had been considered almost impregna
ble defenses and established themselves
in the town. They drove the Germans
from house to house, while they had
crossed the main Albert-Bapaume high,
way and are now holding it and even
making some gains against furious
German attacks.
To the eastward the attack was less
successful. The artillery had not en
tirely swept away the barbed-wire en
tanglements and the troops were
checked in the first onset. But they
came on again and drove the Germans
through the villages of Guillemont and
Longueval and through the Foureaux
wood.
General HaiK Presses Battle.
They ' were unable to hold, were
driven back, rallied and again cleared
their front, and again were repulsed.
The last reports told of desperate hand-to-hand
struggles in the ruins of the
villages and in the wood, with every
indication that General Haig intended
to keep up his fight for the crest of
the ridge until he had cleared it.

two nights the homes of Muir Llano and
Mrs. Rose Mcintosh were entered, al
though t the espionage has become
general. .
In each case the property in the
house has been strewn promiscuously
about the rooms. This corresponds to
the actions of the marauder in all
other visits. In a dozen or 15 raids
nothing . has been, stolen so far as
known, but in all cases the premises
were left in a state of disorder.
Drawers, closets, trunks and bureaus
were rummaged and the contents scat
tered. The fact that robbery does not
appear to be the motive has cast
considerable air of mystery over the
depredations.
Nearly all the unwelcome visitations
were effected during the afternoon and
early evening. The last raids make it
appear that the prowler is fully aware
of the precautions taken by household
ere. and has little trouble selecting
unguarded homes for his operations.
